The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Hu Wenwu did not relax because of Li Pingping's words. He still knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously. Seeing his posture, Li Pingping knew that there were other developments. After asking carefully, he found out that it was not only him, but also his wife and parents were involved in this matter.

Li Pingping had a sad expression on his face. "I, Li Pingping, always treat you well. I even take good care of your families. Why do you choose to treat me like this?"

"Master, please spare my family, they...they..."

"You don't need to say more. Since you have chosen to betray me, you must bear the consequences of betraying me. I remember that in addition to your wife and parents, your family also has an eight-year-old child?"

"Master! Qi'er doesn't know anything about this. Please be merciful and let Qi'er go."

"Whether he was involved or not is not up to you. After I finish my investigation, if he really wasn't involved, I will give him a large sum of money to let him leave Anton City safely."

Hu Wenwu seemed to have known the fate of his family members, but when he heard that his child could survive, his body stopped shaking.

"Take it down."

The soldier leader led his men to carry Hu Wenwu to the woods on the side of the road. After a while, the two men came out again. The soldier leader was holding Hu Wenwu's head in his hand and showed it to Li Pingping. Li Pingping nodded. Flames came out of the soldier leader's hands, and the head was burned into ashes by the high temperature of the flames in his hands.

Only then did Li Pingping turn around and look at Zeng Wenyu and Zhang Qing with a smile: "This kind of thing happened at home, it really makes you two laugh."

Zeng Wenyu shrugged his shoulders. Before he could speak, Zhang Qing said to Li Pingping, "This kind of thing is very common in big families. I have seen it many times. It can happen to brothers no matter how close they are."

"Oh? It seems that Miss Zhang has also experienced this kind of thing before?"

"That's not the case. I'm the only one in my family. But my best friend often encounters this kind of thing, so she kills all the people who are against her in a reasonable way."

"Thank you for your advice, young lady," Li Pingping clasped his hands together and thanked Zhang Qing. "Looking at the direction you two are heading, you should be heading towards Andong City, right? Why don't we go together?"

Zhang Qing turned to look at Zeng Wenyu, waiting for Zeng Wenyu to make a decision.

Seeing Zhang Qing's action, Li Pingping also knew that Zeng Wenyu was the main person between the two of them: "Brother Gao Yi just helped me stop the crazy Luluo, and I haven't thanked him yet. It just so happens that I am familiar with Andong City. I can introduce the situation of Andong City to you while we walk."

In fact, Zeng Wenyu was still a little hesitant when Li Pingping said this, but Luoluo, who was standing next to him, kept nudging him with her head. Li Pingping also took advantage of Luoluo's actions to express that Luoluo also liked him very much. If they went their separate ways, Luoluo might run away again, and used this as an excuse to invite Zeng Wenyu again.

Sighing, Zeng Wenyu finally agreed to the proposal to go together.

Traveling together all the way, Zeng Wenyu learned from Li Pingping's narration that the Andong City ahead was different from the border city. Andong City was the largest city nearby. Because there were border cities such as the border city and the border city ahead responsible for defense, Andong City basically had no military defense. After all, the place where Kangguo and Liangguo bordered was a grassland with no strategic location to defend. As long as the border city was broken, the journey would be unobstructed.

Andong City mainly provides supplies and consumables to the surrounding border towns. The mayor of Andong City also knows the importance of the border town and naturally will not tamper with these things. Moreover, because it is the only city nearby that does not need to consider the threat of enemy countries, Andong City's business is much more developed than other border towns. The three major auction houses on the mainland have branches in Andong City. There are more people doing business, and there are also many branches of major trading companies.

Li Pingping said that the reason why Andong City was built here is because there is a huge blue water stone mine just fifty miles west of Andong City. Blue water stone is the best cornerstone for refining water-based magic weapons, and it can also help monks with water-based spiritual energy in their bodies to practice.

The Bishui Stone Mine in Andong City once produced two pieces of ninth-grade top-grade Bishui Stone. One piece was given to the royal family by the city lord at that time, and the other piece was auctioned at Leishiju for 80 million top-grade spirit stones. The cultivator who won the ninth-grade top-grade Bishui Stone relied on the Bishui Stone to become the supreme elder of the super sect Ruoshui Sect. It was also the person who won the Bishui Stone who developed Ruoshui Sect from a medium-sized sect into a super sect.

"So, Brother Li, you are... the young master of the Lord of Anton City?" Zeng Wenyu's tone was slightly uncertain.

Li Pingping did not hide his identity. After Zeng Wenyu asked, he nodded and said, "Yes, I am the youngest son of the Lord of Andong City. This time I went to Anbian City to discuss the recent material problems. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing when I came back."

"Anbiancheng? Anbiancheng doesn't take this road."

Zeng Wenyu looked at Li Pingping with some suspicion. He remembered that Anbian City was on the northern border with the new country, and the distance between it and Shubian City was not close at all. Just the distance between the two cities would take an ordinary person at least two or three months.

"Didn't Shubian City win a great victory a few days ago? My father asked me to come here to congratulate City Lord Huo, so I used some things that I couldn't normally use. Didn't I take this road after congratulating City Lord Huo?"

City Lord Huo? After being in Shubian City for so many days, this was the first time he knew that the city lord of Shubian City was named Huo.

"Brother Gao, don't you know? The Lord of Shubian City is named Huo Mingda, and he has two daughters. I heard that the eldest daughter is extremely beautiful. Unfortunately, I only saw Lord Huo's youngest daughter Huo Jue this time. Otherwise, I could have seen her beauty." Li Pingping looked a little depressed. "But I don't want to propose marriage or anything like that. I just want to see what the woman who is said to be extremely beautiful looks like. After all, everyone loves beauty."

There was not a trace of evil thoughts in Li Pingping's eyes, only a look of yearning. However, even if there were evil thoughts, it had nothing to do with Zeng Wenyu and him. Zeng Wenyu did not know the eldest daughter of City Lord Huo, but he was quite familiar with the youngest daughter Huo Jue. As long as Li Pingping was not a pervert who had strange ideas about little girls, it would be fine.

However, Zeng Wenyu was somewhat interested in the words "cannot be used normally" in Li Pingping's words. But he felt that Li Pingping would not tell him even if he asked. After all, those were things that could not be used normally and naturally needed to be kept secret.

"Teleportation array!" Zhang Qing whispered to Zeng Wenyu in his ear, "There is one in Zhengxi City too, but it consumes too many spirit stones to activate once, so it cannot be used easily unless there is something extremely urgent."
